The Golden Mean
has appeared in art and architecture for over 2000 years.
It is seen everywhere in nature – in the spirals of shells, sunflowers, the human body, and in geometric shapes. The name of this ratio is Phi… and its value is 1.61803399
Golden Mean Calipers are used by artists, architects, designers, and doctors.
They are hand-crafted in New Zealand and shipped globally. They are made of laser-cut, hand-brushed stainless steel, with brass rivets.
When you order them, you get to talk to the guy who actually makes them. Me :)
